Sweet Pepper Germination

[sewer rat]

Hi folks
Just a quick question. I have been asked to grow veg plants for a local garden centre - no problem there but she told me today she wants 100 x Sweet Peppers. I have not grown sweet peppers but don't see that they'll be too different to some other veg that I do grow. All I need to know is germination times -are they slow to germinate like chilli peppers. Temp etc not a problem as I have a large heated propagator.
Thanks in advance.

I can only speak form my experience 2 years running, and they were very similar to hot chillis, germination wise and they took longer than toms, but not as long as the aubergines

ditto the ladies above.

Mine are just starting to pop through - they're lined up in trays on the floor of the downstairs bathroom (underfloor heating). 8-9 days+

I set mine in the heated prop on Tuesday, its first time growing them so not sure when they'll come up.

About a fortnight in my case; some sown on 18th are just coming through today; but these are not in a prop....just in the kitchen in pots.
